1
00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.799
<v Speaker 1>In a futuristic Los Angeles, crime is deterred through the

2
00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:08.599
<v Speaker 1>use of a new type of criminal justice system, one

3
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:12.199
<v Speaker 1>in which violent offenders are immediately put on trial for

4
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>their crimes and have ninety minutes to prove their innocence

5
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:21.600
<v Speaker 1>to an AI judge or be immediately executed. One LAPD

6
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:24.839
<v Speaker 1>officer finds himself on the wrong side of this system

7
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and is now in a race against time to prove

8
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:33.719
<v Speaker 1>that he didn't kill his wife. It's Mercy. I'm Ronald

9
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.679
<v Speaker 1>Young Junior, and I'm leaving the theater.

10
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:32.959
<v Speaker 2>All right.

11
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:37.359
<v Speaker 3>This is Ronald and I am leaving the theater after

12
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 3>seeing Mercy. Mercy written by Marco van Bell and directed

13
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 3>by timur Bekmambetoff, starring Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson, and

14
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.319
<v Speaker 3>for complete listing of the cast and crew, please check

15
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:59.079
<v Speaker 3>out the link in our show notes. It is just

16
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:04.560
<v Speaker 3>me today, all right. So Mercy is a film in

17
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:09.319
<v Speaker 3>which Chris Pratt is an LAPD detective who wakes up

18
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:16.199
<v Speaker 3>in a chair and is greeted by AI, an AI

19
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.439
<v Speaker 3>that is played by Rebecca Ferguson, which informs him that now,

20
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 3>instead of subjecting criminals to a lengthy trial process, that

21
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:33.919
<v Speaker 3>as soon as they're arrested, they are immediately judged by

22
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 3>an AI, which executes them if they cannot prove their

23
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 3>innocence within ninety minutes. They open by saying you are

24
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 3>now guilty until proven innocent, which is how Chris Pratt

25
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:52.039
<v Speaker 3>finds himself in this chair. He is suspected of murdering

26
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.759
<v Speaker 3>his wife, and he is informed of her murder by

27
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 3>waking up in the chair after intense hangover. There's then

28
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.439
<v Speaker 3>interaction between him and Rebecca Ferguson as the AI as

29
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 3>to what the rules of this are, and essentially the

30
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:11.360
<v Speaker 3>whole film is Chris Pratt trying to uncover in ninety

31
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:19.840
<v Speaker 3>minutes who killed his wife. So when I sat down

32
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.159
<v Speaker 3>and started watching this, I remember thinking, as soon as

33
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 3>I found out that he was accused of killing his wife,

34
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 3>I immediately thought, Oh, it's the Fugitive but worse. And

35
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:33.039
<v Speaker 3>then I was like, Oh, it's the Fugitive meets Minority

36
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 3>Report but worse. And then as the movie continued, I

37
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.479
<v Speaker 3>realized that this film is more like those films Missing

38
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 3>and Searching, which came out a few years ago, one

39
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:51.479
<v Speaker 3>of them starring John Choe, the other starring Storm Read

40
00:03:51.800 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 3>and snaw Lathan. No, not Sonaw Lathan. She's the woman

41
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.840
<v Speaker 3>that I always confuse for Sonai Lathan but is not Sonahilathan.

42
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.680
<v Speaker 3>But she is in the Best Man, and she played

43
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:12.080
<v Speaker 3>a character named Harper, and she was going to sleep

44
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:16.079
<v Speaker 3>with Tay Diggs, but she did not end up sleeping.

45
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Ni Along thank you.

46
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 3>Some of y'all were probably yelling me along at this,

47
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:24.240
<v Speaker 3>but NEI Along was in Searching, John Chow was in Missing,

48
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:30.439
<v Speaker 3>And they are films that play out on a computer screen.

49
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.399
<v Speaker 3>The entire film plays out on a computer screen. This

50
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.959
<v Speaker 3>movie is a lot like that. As a matter of fact,

51
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:41.079
<v Speaker 3>I would say if you watched those two movies and

52
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.680
<v Speaker 3>then you watched this, you'd be like, hey, that was

53
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 3>pretty good, I think, especially because those movies doesn't do

54
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 3>such a good job of building the action over the

55
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.120
<v Speaker 3>course of the entire films. They're not very long. I

56
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 3>think they're like ninety minutes or less. This movie is

57
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 3>only an hour and forty minutes. So again, when it

58
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.680
<v Speaker 3>starts off, I think it's the Fugitive but worse. But

59
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 3>when I think about it along the lines of Searching

60
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 3>and Missing, all of a sudden it's a little bit better.

61
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:13.360
<v Speaker 3>I was a little thrown off because the AI starts off,

62
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 3>played by Rebecca Ferguson, is a little sas has a

63
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.240
<v Speaker 3>bit of an attitude sometimes while also playing someone who's

64
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.560
<v Speaker 3>supposed to be dispassionate an objective as a computer is

65
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 3>wont to be. So I felt like it was a problem.

66
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 3>But as the movie continued and it really became a

67
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:37.480
<v Speaker 3>true investigative who done it? I actually found myself really

68
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:41.519
<v Speaker 3>enjoying it. I thought, yes, the premise is stupid, Yes

69
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.639
<v Speaker 3>there are some dumb things that are happening here. Yes,

70
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:47.720
<v Speaker 3>this is very police state centric, all of the things

71
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 3>that I hate. Yes, it feels a little bit like

72
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:54.319
<v Speaker 3>copaganda in some cases. But I really feel like when

73
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 3>it got down to the root of it, the bottom

74
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 3>line of it, I felt like this was a fine movie.

75
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:03.639
<v Speaker 2>It was perfectly fine.

76
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:08.879
<v Speaker 3>The biggest problems in this movie are from the expectations

77
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.639
<v Speaker 3>of the filmmakers and of the studios, and that they

78
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.800
<v Speaker 3>would expect me to put on clothes, get into my car,

79
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 3>drive to a movie theater, sit down and watch this

80
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:27.120
<v Speaker 3>is absolutely ridiculous. This is by no means a theater movie.

81
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:31.519
<v Speaker 3>And I will also concede that I don't think missing

82
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.519
<v Speaker 3>or searching. Were theater movies either. I think those are

83
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.000
<v Speaker 3>films that wild good should be enjoyed in the comfort

84
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.879
<v Speaker 3>of your home. And this one is one that if

85
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.480
<v Speaker 3>my mom were still with us, I would have been like,

86
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.120
<v Speaker 3>I would have showed up my mom's house and been like,

87
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.600
<v Speaker 3>let's watch this and she would have been like, okay,

88
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.480
<v Speaker 3>and we would have watched it in the basement, and

89
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.240
<v Speaker 3>my mom would have watched it, enjoyed it completely, forgot

90
00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:01.600
<v Speaker 3>about it in ninety minutes after the film over. It

91
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 3>is something that is it is dust in the wind,

92
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:08.000
<v Speaker 3>you will forget about this film. However, for those of

93
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.800
<v Speaker 3>us that are going through this snowstorm right now, if

94
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.720
<v Speaker 3>the snow has indeed fallen, I'm recording this on Saturday.

95
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.399
<v Speaker 3>The snow is supposed to come overnight tonight, so you

96
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.040
<v Speaker 3>will hear this on Monday. If you hear this on

97
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:24.120
<v Speaker 3>Monday and you are sitting at your home in a snowstorm,

98
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.600
<v Speaker 3>this would be the perfect movie to put on. This

99
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 3>would be the perfect movie to put on. And that's

100
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.720
<v Speaker 3>kind of the fatal flaw of this film is that

101
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:36.800
<v Speaker 3>most of my questioning of it are the justifications of

102
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:39.120
<v Speaker 3>me spending this much money to watch this in a

103
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:40.639
<v Speaker 3>theater when this is a.

104
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Great streaming film.

105
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.240
<v Speaker 3>And that's kind of the problem with the movie industry

106
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.120
<v Speaker 3>right now, is that it's harder and harder for them

107
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:51.399
<v Speaker 3>to make that distinction. If I have to go put

108
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.720
<v Speaker 3>clothes on, please justify the putting of the clothes on.

109
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:57.800
<v Speaker 3>There's plenty of people who don't care what's on the

110
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.519
<v Speaker 3>screen and will watch whatever you put up there, and

111
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:04.160
<v Speaker 3>that's fine. But in terms of y'all trying to make

112
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:08.120
<v Speaker 3>a genuine box office from this, we already have seen

113
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:12.279
<v Speaker 3>that Chris Pratt does streaming movies. He does plenty of

114
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:15.480
<v Speaker 3>streaming movies. Sure he did Jurassic World. This isn't that

115
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.399
<v Speaker 3>he did I believe the Tomorrow War. And there's something

116
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.800
<v Speaker 3>else that he did that was also on Amazon. I

117
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 3>read the credits of this film. This is a film

118
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 3>that I believe also Amazon has some hand in production

119
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.399
<v Speaker 3>or studios or attached to So we will see this

120
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:34.600
<v Speaker 3>on Prime in the future, and maybe that's where it

121
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:38.559
<v Speaker 3>should have started. Granted, things get buried on Prime, maybe

122
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 3>they license it to Netflix or something, but this is

123
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.799
<v Speaker 3>a film that would have done well on streaming, and

124
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.240
<v Speaker 3>it do well if it was on streaming right now

125
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.600
<v Speaker 3>during this snowstorm. Instead, I had to watch it in theaters.

126
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.480
<v Speaker 3>And watching it in theaters, I remember thinking, this is nice.

127
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:57.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm in my tracksuit and I'm sitting in a recliner,

128
00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.720
<v Speaker 3>so I feel pretty comfortable. But I would have felt

129
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:03.120
<v Speaker 3>more comfortable with a blanket up to my chin in

130
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:08.159
<v Speaker 3>a warm house that I pay rent for on my couch.

131
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:12.200
<v Speaker 3>That would have been better. The movie itself is it's

132
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.720
<v Speaker 3>a basic who done it? And there's a lot of

133
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:19.240
<v Speaker 3>things I saw coming. Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson one

134
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:23.320
<v Speaker 3>hundred percent clocked in. I'm surprised to see Rebecca Ferguson

135
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.639
<v Speaker 3>in something like this, lending her gravitas to a film

136
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.000
<v Speaker 3>like this, But Rebecca Ferguson also did Silo.

137
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:31.240
<v Speaker 2>However, That's the thing.

138
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:34.120
<v Speaker 3>When Rebecca says yes to a project, she says yes

139
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.399
<v Speaker 3>to a project because she thinks it's interesting and she

140
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.720
<v Speaker 3>thinks that she can make it better, she can add

141
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.360
<v Speaker 3>something to it that makes it good.

142
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.120
<v Speaker 2>I know this not because she said it in an interview.

143
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.919
<v Speaker 3>Although I'm sure you could find it somewhere, But that

144
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:49.879
<v Speaker 3>is how she shows up. When she showed up in Silo,

145
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.840
<v Speaker 3>she showed up serious. She showed up ready to play it.

146
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:55.200
<v Speaker 3>She didn't wasn't like this is some hokey project that's

147
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:58.919
<v Speaker 3>beneath me. She's like, I'm engaged in this streaming property

148
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:00.960
<v Speaker 3>and I want to continue to the story and that's

149
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:04.840
<v Speaker 3>important to me. So she did that. This is more

150
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:06.879
<v Speaker 3>of that. She showed up to play the role, and

151
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:09.799
<v Speaker 3>she's doing it. She's actually doing the job that she

152
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 3>signed up to do, and I don't fault her for that.

153
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:17.120
<v Speaker 3>Although I will say when I see she's in a project,

154
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.360
<v Speaker 3>it is more likely that I will watch that project.

155
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:23.279
<v Speaker 3>And now I'm learning that her showing up doesn't mean

156
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:25.879
<v Speaker 3>the project will be good, but it could mean that

157
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:28.120
<v Speaker 3>she will be good in it, and she is good

158
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.840
<v Speaker 3>in this. Chris Pratt is fine in this. He could

159
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.799
<v Speaker 3>have been replaced by anyone, but he clocked it in

160
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.120
<v Speaker 3>at his job. I just don't think he brought anything special.

161
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:37.639
<v Speaker 2>To this role.

162
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.600
<v Speaker 3>In particular, there is something that happens where the premise

163
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:43.840
<v Speaker 3>of the film is that we're watching this countdown clock

164
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:49.159
<v Speaker 3>and his percentage of guilt must get below ninety two

165
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:52.559
<v Speaker 3>percent in order for the trial to stop, in him

166
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.240
<v Speaker 3>not to be executed. Well, at some point I'm swept

167
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.879
<v Speaker 3>away in the investigation, and when that threshold, or when

168
00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:03.200
<v Speaker 3>the question of that threshold starts to come up, I

169
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:06.080
<v Speaker 3>remember my question being, how are they going to continue

170
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:09.360
<v Speaker 3>the movie once he drops below the threshold? Because if

171
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:12.440
<v Speaker 3>he does too good of a job investigating, obviously he's

172
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:15.440
<v Speaker 3>going to drop below the threshold. And obviously that's the

173
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.960
<v Speaker 3>direction that this film is headed. And I think for me,

174
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.320
<v Speaker 3>the answer I got when they got to that point

175
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.399
<v Speaker 3>was pretty unsatisfactory, meaning that there is still a countdown

176
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:31.039
<v Speaker 3>clock that exists beyond that point, and that clock felt dumb.

177
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.159
<v Speaker 3>There was a more obvious clock that felt like they

178
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:37.039
<v Speaker 3>could have pointed to, but for some reason, they felt

179
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:40.240
<v Speaker 3>like this was the clock they should continue to use,

180
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:42.600
<v Speaker 3>which is the clock that's attached to when the ninety

181
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.360
<v Speaker 3>minutes are up on the chair, regardless of whether.

182
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:46.559
<v Speaker 2>The trial is complete or not.

183
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:51.919
<v Speaker 3>So watching that portion of it, I felt was it

184
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:57.879
<v Speaker 3>made the premise seem dumber. And again, this probably isn't

185
00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:59.879
<v Speaker 3>something that I would have thought of if I was

186
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:07.000
<v Speaker 3>at a theater. So yeah, with all of that being said,

187
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:10.000
<v Speaker 3>I think this is a three star movie straight across

188
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:12.519
<v Speaker 3>the middle. I think it probably rises a three point

189
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:14.840
<v Speaker 3>twenty five or three point five if I didn't have

190
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.399
<v Speaker 3>to leave the house to watch it. But also the

191
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:21.200
<v Speaker 3>premise is shaky enough that because I'm now examining those

192
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.960
<v Speaker 3>portions of it, because I'm out of the house, I

193
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.000
<v Speaker 3>don't think it could rise that far above a three

194
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.639
<v Speaker 3>star to beat anyway, you know, like, and even in

195
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.120
<v Speaker 3>its natural state, even if I had seen it at home,

196
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:32.559
<v Speaker 3>I would have been like, it was, all right, you

197
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:34.679
<v Speaker 3>should watch it. You're at home, you're not doing anything,

198
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:37.360
<v Speaker 3>go ahead and watch it. That's not a studying endorsement

199
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:42.759
<v Speaker 3>for a film. It's certainly not must see movie. But yeah,

200
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:47.519
<v Speaker 3>it's it's good enough three stars. And with that, Leaving

201
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.919
<v Speaker 3>the Theater is a production of Oh It's Big Round Studios.

202
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.600
<v Speaker 3>I mixed this episode and I am currently recording this

203
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:56.759
<v Speaker 3>right before we head into the snowstorm, which means you

204
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 3>will hear this episode on Monday, and I will also

205
00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:03.919
<v Speaker 3>edit next week's episode tomorrow as well, Tomorrow being Sunday,

206
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:05.519
<v Speaker 3>because I'm going to be stuck in the house, so

207
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.639
<v Speaker 3>it makes sense to just get ahead on two episodes

208
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:12.279
<v Speaker 3>of Leaving the Theater rather than possibly being in a

209
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.879
<v Speaker 3>hole in the weeks to come. There's a lot that

210
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm working on right now. I'm working on Heartbreaker, the

211
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:19.080
<v Speaker 3>live show. I have to do a lot of marketing

212
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.240
<v Speaker 3>to sell tickets as well as do the content for

213
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.480
<v Speaker 3>the show itself, as well as coordinate all the logistics

214
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.639
<v Speaker 3>around the show. I am obviously working on Leaving the

215
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:30.679
<v Speaker 3>Theater as you're hearing it right now, and I'm also

216
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.840
<v Speaker 3>working on Wait for It. And I am late on

217
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:36.600
<v Speaker 3>two episodes that should have come out two weeks ago

218
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:40.320
<v Speaker 3>and this week, and that is the workload that I

219
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:43.519
<v Speaker 3>have right now. I am working very hard at OW

220
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:47.039
<v Speaker 3>It's Big Ron Studios. It's important that this year twenty

221
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.279
<v Speaker 3>twenty six, that I work very very hard in order

222
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:53.720
<v Speaker 3>to accomplish all of the personal career goals as well

223
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.120
<v Speaker 3>as the content goals that I have for Oh It's

224
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:59.120
<v Speaker 3>Big Ron and Oh It's Big Ron Studios. You can help.

234
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Oprah's body.

235
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:30.320

236
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.799

237
